3. Camel's Hump

At 4083 feet high, this peak is connected to Mount Mansfield by the Long Trail.
Reviewed By G2258YKpaulp - Montpelier, United States
Ok-- it's a mountain-- be prepared for that. Don't listen to the "average times" to get to the top. Even in shape it's a slog up a varied surface trail with changeable weather conditions. Be prepared for that and bring a lot of water. HOWEVER, once up, you'll not want to come down. The views are fantastic on a clear day and the vegetation is protected and beautiful. I managed to hit the summit on a clear day during foliage and it was spectacular. On the downward leg, look for the wing of the B-24 Liberator that crashed into the mountain during WWII, killing the entire crew. Amazingly enough, that's all that's up there. The rest, including four huge Wright Cyclone engines were brought down for scrap by some local farmer years ago, probably by mule.

Too cold for the raptors to fly and coming all the way from Maine anxious to see these magnificent birds, I was welcomed to still meet Horus the Falcon, Newton the Hawk and beautiful owl Alba. I thank the New England Falconry and Jessica for their hospitality and taking time with me sharing fascinating facts about these glorious birds. I would highly recommend a visit. I am anxious to visit when the weather breaks in the spring! Thank you Jessica!

This is a wonderful little hike (under 5 miles) up a mountain with a great view point (the NORTH spur view is best) and further on good southern views.
10. Stowe Mountain Resort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 975 reviews
A classic Vermont ski getaway, popular with families because of its excellent ski/snowboard school and child-friendly amenities.
Reviewed By bhink0506 - Medford, United States
Most people probably come here in Winter, but Stowe is as charming in Summer. The gondola ride to the (almost) top of the mountain is breathtaking, and the hiking trails from there are a lot of fun. Some are trails very treacherous, so be sure to wear proper shoes and be in proper shape to hike them. The views are wonderful. I highly recommend Stowe.
